ANT-MAN / SCOTT LANG
After the events of “Captain America:
Civil War,” Scott is struggling to
balance life as a Super Hero with
his responsibilities as a father. While
finishing the final days of his Sokovia
enforced house arrest, Scott promises
his family he will stay on the straight &
narrow upon his release, for real this
time. But mere hours from freedom,
Hank comes to Scott with an urgent
new mission. Unable to abandon Hank
and Hope in their time of need, Scott
decides to suit up, set things right, and
get home in time before his parole
officer checks in on him.

THE WASP / HOPE VAN DYNE
After spending her life admiring her
mother’s work, Hope is now finally
able to embrace the role she has
been groomed to take on – The Wasp!
Empowered with a new cutting-edge
suit, Hope is making up for lost time as
a Super Hero. She has never lost sight
of the primary goal though – finding a
way to get her mom, Janet van Dyne,
back from the Quantum Realm. With
she and Hank closer to a solution than
they’ve ever been, the only question
left remaining is whether or not she
and Scott can become the duo they
need to be to achieve their goal.
GHOST
A mysterious figure whose name is
feared and whispered amongst the
criminal underworld because of her
ability to phase through solid walls.
No one is sure of Ghost’s true identity
or what she’s after, but she seems
awfully interested in Hank and Hope’s
latest tech. Her terrifying skillset makes
her a truly formidable foe.
INTRODUCTION
HANK PYM
Despite being forced to take his
research underground due to fears
that his technology could fall into
the wrong hands, Hank feels he’s
closer than ever to unlocking the
secrets of the Quantum Realm and
saving his wife, Janet. He is working
with his daughter Hope’s help and,
against his better judgment, Scott.
But Hank has made a lot of enemies
over the years, and the closer he gets
to the Quantum Realm, the closer his
enemies get to him.
D
uring the 1960’s the brilliant scientist, Dr. Hank Pym, made an incredible discovery, Pym Particles. This
scientific breakthrough was capable of increasing and decreasing the size of objects and even humans!
Dr. Pym was able to harness the technology to create a custom suit that allowed him to become Ant-Man,
a Super Hero with the ability to shrink down to the size of an insect. Today, the mantle of Ant-Man has been
passed to Scott Lang who fights beside Hank’s daughter Hope van Dyne, also known as The Wasp.
Now it’s your turn to experience Hank Pym’s incredible technology. By stepping into the “Ant-Man and The
Wasp” Activity Packet, you’ll gain a new and unique perspective to the unseen world around you. Imagine
shrinking to the size of an insect, what amazing adventures would you have? You might communicate with
ants, get an up-close look at the anatomy of a wasp or even venture into the Quantum Realm itself. You may
even have to use your incredible power to save the world. Discover the adventure for yourself in the pages
ahead and don’t miss Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp” in theaters July 6.

who help him during his unique missions, even allowing
him to fly on their backs whenever the need arises.
Similar to the complex communication device used by Scott
and Hope, ant species also have complex communication
patterns, speaking to one another without even making
a sound. Their primary communication method is done
by producing chemical substances called pheromones.
Pheromones send messages detected by other ants through
their antennae, communicating that a new food source has
been found or defensive action is needed. Ants will also
communicate through vibrations, producing high-pitched
chirps when rubbing body parts together. Carpenter ants and
other species that inhabit trees will even knock their antennae
on tree bark to warn their nest mates of a potential threat.
We may not have the same communication technology as
Ant-Man or The Wasp, but by using ant communication
techniques we can share coded messages with our friends
and family. Head to the next page to find out how!

A
s the daughter of Dr. Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, the
original Ant-Man and The Wasp, Hope van Dyne has the best
traits from both of her parents. She is an expert across multiple
fields of science and works hand-in-hand with her father on
updates to the Ant-Man technology. After losing her mother at
a young age, Hope sought relief through the study of martial
arts, honing her focus and becoming a skilled fighter. All of these
unique gifts make her perfectly suited to take on the mantle of
The Wasp, a Super Hero with similar shrinking powers as
Ant-Man but with the added ability of flight.
Wasps are an incredible species to study for inspiration
and inventiveness, and it is no wonder why Dr. Pym
utilized the insect in his design of Hope’s suit. There are
nearly 30,000 identified species of wasps, in almost
every color imaginable. A wasp’s anatomy allows it
to be incredibly efficient, with a streamlined waist
and narrow legs designed for subduing prey such
as flies, caterpillars or spiders. Unlike bees, wasps
can sting repeatedly and will fiercely protect their
colony if disturbed. However, despite their aggressive
appearance and reputation, wasps are incredibly
beneficial to the earth and play an important role in
nature. Wasps are the heroes of protecting crops and act as
enforcers by controlling pest populations around the world.
Just like Ant-Man needs his partner, The Wasp, for help, we too
need these incredible species to protect the earth from harm.

T
he Quantum Realm is a vast and mysterious
plane of existence, a reality where all concepts
of time and space become irrelevant. It is filled
with incredible sights, a world exploding with
kaleidoscope imagery and color, but also danger.
While on a secret mission, Janet van Dyne, the
original Wasp, sacrificed herself to save the lives of
millions, dooming herself to the Quantum Realm
in the process where she’s been lost ever since.
30 years later, Scott Lang ventured into the Quantum
Realm wearing the Ant-Man suit, shrinking smaller
and smaller into subatomic space. He was only able
to return thanks to his quick thinking and use of a Pym
Particle Disk in his regulator that brought him back
to human size. Ant-Man proved that it was possible
to travel and return from this unknown dimension,
providing new reason to believe there may be a
way for Hank and Hope to find and rescue Janet.
